   This is simply confusing me to death.

   Is there not an "or" function in the php code? If I'm using conditional tags, for example:

   <?php } elseif (is_author('admin')) { ?>
   Blah blah blah

   <?php } elseif (is_author('18')) { ?>
   blahdy blah blahdy blah

   What if I want three different pages, a couple of author archives, and three different categories all to produce the same result? Do I have to input that desired result 8 different times?

   I feel like it's right in front of me, but I'm just missing something.

   I hope the question is clear; if not, I can cite a few more examples.

   Thanks a bunch if you can help.

   Hi,

   you can use either the keyword "||" or "or" to do logical expression. Like:

   <?php if( is_author('18')|| is_author('admin') ) { ?>

   Here's more about logical operator in PHP.

   So the logical expression for "or" is..."or"?

   LOL...

   Dude you're such a lifesaver; I knew that had to be it. I just had the parentheses closed in the wrong places...

   I was doing:

   <?php if( is_author('18'))|| (is_author('admin') ) { ?>

   instead.

   So there you go...it works perfectly now, and I've saved tons of lines of code.

   Thanks again.

   or rather I was using "or" instead of "||" but either way.

   Make it a great night.

   Actually, "or" will also work.
